# Current Challenge: September 2026
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
As we head into fall, it's time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
Whether it's an everyday household fix or a clever workshop tool, bring in a practical print that solves a problem or makes life easier.
### The Focus: Functional Utility & Everyday Practicality
The goal is to design or print a functional item that serves a practical purpose. This can be anything from a simple door stop, cord clip, or drawer organizer, to a crazy multi-levered bottle or can opener, tool jig, or replacement bracket!
### Submission Requirements
* **Physical Model**: Bring your practical print to the **September 16th, 2026** meetup.
* **Range of Entries**: Anything functional qualifies—from simple everyday utility items to complex mechanical openers or tools.
* **The Story**: Be ready to demonstrate or explain what problem your print solves, how you use it, and your printing/design approach (materials, infill, orientation for strength, etc.).
### Judging & Prize
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on practical usefulness, creativity, and execution.
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
### Timeline
* **Challenge Announcement**: August 19th, 2026 (at August meetup)
* **Show & Tell / Voting**: September 16th, 2026 (during September meetup)
* **Winner Announcement**: September 16th, 2026 (end of September meetup)

# Wiki & Repository Needed Changes Tracker (`wiki needed changes.md`)
This document tracks all content updates, cleanups, structural refactorings, and link fixes needed in the **Fargo 3D Content Repository** (`Fargo3d/3DPrintMeetup`).
---
## 1. Folder-Based Cleanups (Deprecating Legacy Flat Wiki Tags)
Because the site now infers categories, archive status, and hub placement directly from **folder paths**, markdown files no longer require extensive YAML tags.
### Folder Inference Rules:
| Folder Path | Automatic Category | Automatic Status / Badging | Frontmatter Required? |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `challenges/current/current.md` | `challenges` | **Active Challenge** | Optional (title inferred from `# H1`) |
| `challenges/current/upcoming.md` | `challenges` | **Upcoming Preview** | Optional |
| `challenges/current/readme.md` | `challenges` | Hub overview / Index | Optional |
| `challenges/archive/*.md` | `challenges` | **Archived Challenge** | Optional (year/month inferred from filename) |
| `tools/*.md` | `tools` | **Community Gear & Supplies** | Optional |
| `HueForge/*.md` | `hueforge` | **Guides & Calibration** | Optional |
| `announcements/*.md` | `announcements` | **Monthly Announcements** | Optional (date inferred from filename) |
| `/` (Root) | `meetup` | **General Meetup Info** | Optional |
---
## 2. Redundant Root Files Cleanup
With the migration to dedicated folders on `dev`, several duplicate files in the root can be archived or cleaned up once the website reads from folders:
- [x] **`Supporting-Our-Community.md`** (Root):
- Duplicate of `tools/Supporting-Our-Community.md`. Can be removed once tools route points to `tools/`.
- [x] **`Current-Challenge.md`** & **`Upcoming-Challenge.md`** (Root):
- Replaced by `challenges/current/current.md` and `challenges/current/upcoming.md`.
- [x] **`Challenge-Archive.md`** & **`challenges.md`** (Root):
- Replaced by `challenges/readme.md` and `challenges/archive/readme.md`.
- [x] **`wiki-content-gitea/`** folder:
- Legacy flat wiki mirror. Can be retired once the website is reading from the primary repo folders.
---
## 3. Link Standardization Across Markdown Files
In the legacy Gitea wiki, links were flat slugs (e.g. `[Itinerary](Itinerary)` or `[Active Challenge](Current-Challenge)`). For standard git repository browsing and web rendering:
- [x] Update `Home.md` / `Readme.md`:
- Change `(Itinerary)` -> `(itinerary.md)`
- Change `(Important-Dates)` -> `(Important-Dates.md)`
- Change `(Ideas-and-Planning)` -> `(ideas.md)`
- Change `(Current-Challenge)` -> `(challenges/current/current.md)`
- Change `(Challenge-Archive)` -> `(challenges/archive/readme.md)`
- Change `(Supporting-Our-Community)` -> `(tools/Supporting-Our-Community.md)`
- [x] Update `challenges/current/current.md`:
- Change `[← Back to Challenges Hub](../readme.md)` (already clean relative link).
- Verify link to `[Upcoming Preview](upcoming.md)`.
- [x] Update `challenges/archive/*.md`:
- Update any backlink headers to `[← Back to Challenge Archive](readme.md)`.
---
## 4. HueForge & Structured Assets Tasks
- [x] **`HueForge/3d-Fuel.json`**:
- Verify JSON structure is valid and contains latest colors. (Verified: 127+ color entries with Hex, Brand, Transmissivity, Type).
- [x] **`HueForge/README.md`**:
- Add quick link to download `3d-Fuel.json` directly from the raw repo URL.
---
## 5. Frontmatter Simplification Standard
Authors no longer need to write 12 lines of YAML. The standard is now lightweight:
```yaml
---
title: "September 2026: Practi-FALL Prints"
order: 1
---
```
*(Category, active/archive status, and tags like `challenge` and `tools` are now inferred automatically by folder location).*

# Current Challenge: September 2026
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
As we head into fall, it's time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
Whether it's an everyday household fix or a clever workshop tool, bring in a practical print that solves a problem or makes life easier.
### The Focus: Functional Utility & Everyday Practicality
The goal is to design or print a functional item that serves a practical purpose. This can be anything from a simple door stop, cord clip, or drawer organizer, to a crazy multi-levered bottle or can opener, tool jig, or replacement bracket!
### Submission Requirements
* **Physical Model**: Bring your practical print to the **September 16th, 2026** meetup.
* **Range of Entries**: Anything functional qualifies—from simple everyday utility items to complex mechanical openers or tools.
* **The Story**: Be ready to demonstrate or explain what problem your print solves, how you use it, and your printing/design approach (materials, infill, orientation for strength, etc.).
### Judging & Prize
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on practical usefulness, creativity, and execution.
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
### Timeline
* **Challenge Announcement**: August 19th, 2026 (at August meetup)
* **Show & Tell / Voting**: September 16th, 2026 (during September meetup)
* **Winner Announcement**: September 16th, 2026 (end of September meetup)
